More than likly the price differance will once again settle at .40 cents more per gallon for diesel. But even at that the cost per mile, factoring in extra diesel costs, higher maintaince costs are the same as my 6.4. Tye only reason I would go with a diesel again would be if I absolutly needed the extra power, and even though Im carrying 4K#s in the bed I have all the juice I need with the 6.2 , with non of the headaches and idiocincracies of a diesel. Good decision.... oh yea.
